...for offenders and young people at risk of offending
Many of our performances for offenders are frameworks within which we improvise. These shows have built in strategies that make interaction with audiences possible and enable them to shape the outcome of scenes and the plays’ conclusions. As characters have to deal with situations which threaten to disrupt their lives they are open to challenge from the audience to explain their actions; gradually the emphasis of this shifts, so that the characters play out the advice given by the audience. Our use of masks is fundamental to this process.

"That was spot-on. You hit the nail right on the head. Some of the scenarios you presented today brought a tear to my eye."
